Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a rotary rise-fall driving device (screw or rotary ladder type) is used to drive the draw bar, then the suction disk can achieve adsorption and release functions, but the structure becomes complex and large rotary force is required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the complex rotary mechanical driving device (screw or rotary ladder type) with a simple push-button mechanical system. The push button directly pushes the pin shaft to move the draw bar axially, eliminating the need for rotary motion and complex mechanical transmission components, thus simplifying the overall structure while maintaining the adsorption-release function
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and removes the unnecessary rotary driving mechanism from the system, keeping only the essential axial movement function. By taking out the complex rotary ladder support or screw mechanism and retaining only the direct push-rod structure, the design achieves structural simplification while preserving the core functionality
2Reliability
If a rotary rise-fall driving device is used, then the suction disk can be operated, but the draw bar cannot be moved up and down in position due to insufficient rotation, resulting in loose adsorption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes the rotary mechanical system with a direct axial push mechanism. The push button moves linearly to push the pin shaft, ensuring reliable axial movement of the draw bar without the limitations of rotary motion. This direct linear actuation guarantees sufficient travel distance for tight adsorption while maintaining simple operation
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of using rotary motion to achieve axial movement (as in screw or rotary ladder mechanisms), the patent inverts the approach by using direct axial motion to achieve the same result. The push button's linear movement directly translates to the draw bar's axial displacement, ensuring reliable positioning and tight adsorption
3Ease of operation
If a rotary rise-fall driving device is used, then the suction disk can function, but large rotary force is required making operation difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the rotary mechanical system requiring large torque with a simple linear push system. The push button directly applies axial force to the pin shaft, eliminating the need for large rotary forces and complex mechanical advantage mechanisms, thus making operation easier and more intuitive
